In your bank, you have three types of coins. The number of spots shows how much they are worth. Can you choose coins to exchange with the groups given to make the same total?

Dominoes Environment

Stage: 1 and 2 Challenge Level:

Why use this
environment?

This domino environment can be used on an interactive
whiteboard for many purposes. It is not meant as a substitute for
'real' dominoes but it will enable you and your learners to share
ideas more easily as a whole group. You can build on children's
knowledge of counting and patterns by setting up sequences of
dominoes to continue, you could play dominoes in its traditional
form, you could challenge children to arrange certain dominoes in
particular ways, you could ask them to sort the dominoes into
groups.

There are many ideas for using dominoes in the classroom
here and more domino problems can be found on NRICH by typing
'domino' into the top-right search box or selecting 'Mathematics
Tools' in the search by topic facility.

The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners. To support this aim, members of the
NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to
embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice. More information on many of our other activities
can be found here.
